　The song "Letter of Gratitude" sung by singer-songwriter Mayu Hanafusa, who belongs to our group company Tokuma Japan Communications Co., Ltd., is a message song dedicated to healthcare workers who are working tirelessly on the front lines during the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.
　 The lyrics were created based on the best-selected work from letters solicited with the aim of conveying gratitude and support to healthcare workers. The music video depicts the real-life scenes of healthcare workers who are fighting on the front lines every day.
　 In our karaoke DAM series, the same song is available with the original artist's video. ^*1 Currently being distributed (Request No. 5299-79).

From October 17 to November 30, the number of times songs are sung in karaoke and the number of views of the same song's music video published on YouTube will be tallied, and 10 yen per instance will be delivered to healthcare workers as the "Karaoke Culture Day" fund. ^*2
